Early critical praise for Joan Osborne A Dog’s Life “Dare I say that Pretty Little Stranger, Osborne’s Vanguard debut and only her fourth disc since Relish is not so bad back in ’95 reminds me very, very strongly and very, very, Pick up a copy of any of a multitude of fashion very fondly of those classic Ronstadt albums of the early magazines this month and and mid-70’s. you’ll see the new campaign And I don’t mean in my usual, curmudgeonly, for Jay Z’s Rocawear shot in derivative sense. There’s something in the feel, the Aspen. The happy dog in the selfless, exemplary playing, Osborne’s warm, worn, wide ads next to Naomi Campbell is named Denali and belongs open vocals, all the songs, especially — Kristofferson’s to NRC Broadcasting’s Sam Please Don’t Tell Me How The Story Ends; Garcia & Scholl. Look for Denali in Hunter’s Brokedown Palace; Patty Griffin’s immaculately more ad campaigns in the rendered What You Are; the Little Feat funk of the original near future! Dead Roses; the Raitt-ish Who Divided, and the chiming, Ronstadt pop of the title track — that keeps you engaged long after other discs have spent their shelf life and your attention span. Though the focus falls full and deservedly on Osborne, I’d be terribly remiss not to mention at least a few of Osborne’s accomplices because, just like those classic Ronstadts, these performances are team efforts. Steve Buckingham’s production is pure clarity, echoing Peter Asher. Drummer Eddie Bayers and bassist Michael Rhodes instill each song with its own space and pace, as Dan Tyminski, Dan Dugmore, Sonny Landreth, Alison Krauss, Rodney Crowell, Steve Gibson, Bryan Sutton, Vince Gill and other equally supportive players give all these songs a personality not quickly forgotten.” - AcousticMusic.com Damien Rice Paste reviews Joseph Arthur: US tour dates 4 1/2 of 5 stars for Nuclear Daydream! “The multitalented Joseph Arthur (view his striking artwork at JosephArthur.com) is a metaphysician who fashions his complex interior monologues into deceptively simple pop songs. Nuclear Daydream, his fifth album, is post-apocalyptic religious music, endlessly ponderable and disturbigly beautiful. It opens with the piano chord, throbbing bass and tambourine of “Too Much To Hide,” introducing Arthur’s deadly 12/6 San Francisco, CA earnest voice as he considers the 12/8 Los Angeles, CA secrets humans hide from each other within a lithe melody that lifts him to the edge of his aching falsetto. The following, 12/11 Boston, MA “Black Lexus,” seems inspired by Neil Young’s “After the Gold Rush,” sounding like 12/12 & 13 New York, NY something the former inhabitants of Earth might sing when their silver seed touches 12/15 Washington, DC down on their new home atop the sun. The arrangement is distinguished by stacked 12/16 Philadelphia, PA chorus harmonies that hang glistening below the melody, like stalactites in a cavern. 12/18 & 19 Chicago, IL Then comes the New Order-ish “Enough to Get Away,” allowing the listener to take 12/20 Minneapolis, MN one last breath before Arthur begins his descent in earnest. The album becomes more intoxicatingly hermetic with each sucessive song, taking you as deep as you ... plus an extensive Spring tour! dare to go” For up-to-the-minute AAA news...
